PARIS—Drug lords like Sean McGovern, a top lieutenant of the Kinahan cartel, and Faissal Taghi — son of the infamous head of the Dutch-Moroccan Mocro Maffia — used to hang out and party in Dubai’s glitzy hotels and restaurants without a care in the world.
Europol described the city as a “remote coordination hub” for Europe’s drugs trade, where traffickers live openly and launder their money through luxury goods and real estate. Ironically, Dubai’s low crime rate means they can operate there in security, doing deals and networking with other global narcotics players in the city’s cafes and shisha bars.In October, McGovern — the right-hand-man of Irish drugs lord Daniel Kinahan — was arrested on an extradition warrant from Dublin, accused of murder and being a leader of a criminal organisation.
